    One of the most delightful meals I’ve had. Each dish had a depth of flavors taking you through the journey with each bite. The oysters, shishitos and fried chicken our favorites.

    The tasting dinner with wine pairings was a wonderful way to celebrate my friend’s birthday. Our favorite savory dish was the shrimp aguachile and the tapioca dessert was a perfect balance of sweetness, creaminess, and crunchy texture. 10/10 would do again!!🙌

    This is one of the best restaurants I’ve been in Houston. The short rib was amazing, their carrots, and drinks are all a hit! Service was amazing, it’s very intimate and warm. Love it

    Delicious dinner and our server Missouri was great. We did feel a little rushed to leave. We were still waiting on two dishes to come and another server came to ask us if we needed boxes for the food we were working on. Other than that, it was a great meal.

    Our party opted for the tasting menu and did not regret our decision. Each course was well thought out and executed. Wine pairings were good. We added the 1/2 fried chicken and are super glad we did. Such a crisp and tasty outside but luscious tender inside. Sooo good.

    It was a chance to come back to try different items on the menu. We had the fried chicken, which was very crispy without being overcooked. The brisket was a blend of very complimentary flavors and the curry sauce was the punch!. If you like beef tartare, definitely try this version because ot just a bit different with bread on top.

    The chefs tasting menu was fantastic, only thing odd is we waited at least 20 min in between our 3rd and 4th courses. We arrived at 7:06 and didn’t leave until 9pm. In terms of food both my parents and I were very impressed with the taste and inspirations.
